SPECIFICATION forming; part of Letters Patent No. 696,428, dated April 1, 1902. Application filed July 12, 1901- Serifll NO- 1 (NO 1110301) To ztZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JAMES FRYER, joiner, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at and whose postal address is 12 Jubilee Cottages, Buxton, in the county of Derby, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in "Windows, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to that description of windows the sashes of which are capable of sliding and on manipulating a particular device the sashes are capable of being moved into a horizontal position for cleaning or re glazing purposes, leaving the slips in their normal position; and the object of my invention is to effect improvements in windows of this description, and in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a window fitted with sliding sashes according to my invention and showing both sashes moved into a horizontal position. Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate in perspective the corresponding faces of the lower portion of a stile and slip, respectively. Figs. 4 and 5 illustrate in sectional elevation the manner in which the parts work. Figs. 6, 7, and 8 are similar Views to Figs. 2, 3, and at of a modification, and Fig. 9 is a further modification of that shown in Figs. 6, 7, and 8.

It will be understood that the sash-lines are attached to the slips in the usual manner. The pivots or joints are formed so that when the sash is swung down to a horizontal or diagonal or other convenient position it is supported in that position without further manipulation. For this purpose the stile a is rabbeted at Z) to correspond with the level surface 0 of the slip, which is similarly rabbeted at cl to correspond with the level surface a of the stile. The lower end of the stile a is formed with a quadrantal or segmental portion f, and the lower end of the slip o is formed with a similar recess 6. 7c is a pivot of any suitable description. Thus when the sash is moved into a horizontal position the quadrant f travels in the recess 6, 4 and 5, the sashes bc as indicated in Figs.

ing supported in the horizontal position by the abutment of the radial portion f of the quadrant with the wall e of the recess. The wall 6 also serves to support the sash.

Referring to Figs. 6, 7, and 8, a is a block attached to or integral with the stile a, a corresponding rabbet or recess 0' being formed in the slip o. By this means the joint below the pivot is rendered weatherproof, and the portion 663 of the block a coming in contact with the edge or side of the slip also serves to support the sash horizontally.

Fig. 9 is a further modification whereby the pivot 7t may be dispensed with. The block a is formed with a curved meeting edge concentrio with the arc of the quadrant f, and the recess 0 is correspondingly formed. It thus follows that the curved edges of the quadrant f and recess a and those of the block a and recess 0 guide the joint in a similar manner to a pivot. These curved edges may be faced with metal to reduce friction and minimize wear.

It will be understood that the formation of the stile and slip may be reversed i. e., the quadrantal projection f may be formed on the slip and the corresponding recess 6 provided 0n the stile.

The sash-stile is secured to the slip when the sash is in position for sliding vertically by means of thumb-screws g, Fig. 1, or by catches, bolts, or other suitable fastening.

There the sash is only required to open inward to a diagonal position, the face of the wall 6 of the recess is formed at the same angle as it is desired to support the sash.

For heavy sashes it may be found advisable to locate the pivot-joint nearer the middle of sash-stile or to provide stops on the frame or a chain, cord, or other additional support.

I claim 1. In reversible sliding window-sashes pivoted to slips, means for supporting the sash when projecting inwardly or outwardly, consisting of forming the adj acentrabbeted faces of the stile and slip, one with a segmental projection adapted to enter a correspondingly-formed recess in the other, when the sash is swung into a horizontal position and to abut against one wall thereof substantially as set forth.

ICO

2. In reversible sliding window-sashes, a slip, a sash pivoted thereto, a segmental projection on one of said parts adapted to enter a correspondingly-formed recess in the other part, a block on one face and a corresponding recess in the other face, said block together with the segmental projection serving to support the sash, the said block and its recess being independent of the projection and the recess adapted to receive the same, substantially as described.

3. In reversible sliding window-sashes, a slip, a sash pivoted thereto, a segmental projection on one of said parts adapted to enter a correspondingly-formed recess in the other part, a block on one face and a corresponding JAMES FRYER.
